Re: James Franco [mega-merged]

Re: James Franco [mega-merged]

He's hot and talented, but lately his film performances and choices, indeed his whole persona is being ripped as needlessly self absorbed...acting perfomances too for the most part. He seems to coast, to exude oozing levels of snarkiness and self-importance as an "artistic" type. His brother seems to be more genuine...just something about him that's kinda off putting. Maybe since I read how he took a film class and really screwed around instead of approaching things professionally, and having his people push back at the drama instructor who ripped his work during his semester there.... he just comes across as a hipster wanna be with the personality of a jock jerk.

Re: James Franco [mega-merged]

I heard a drama teacher gave Franco a D grade or something like that and he got mad about it. The drama teacher claims the university was trying to ruin his career because he gave a superstar like Franco a bad grade for not showing up for acting class.
Franco is good looking and I am sure he's a talented actor but he comes across as a real douche bag.

Re: James Franco [mega-merged]

Not sure why anyones complaining about him sucking a dildo or whatever. It's a movie, not a porno. Most actors don't 'really' have sex during sex scenes in movies :P

Typically whenever a blowjob scene is shown in a movie, it's just eluded to by showing shots of the actor bobbing up and down and the other actors face going 'ooooh, ahhh' and that's really it. At least here Franco had the balls to actually look like he was in fact sucking an actual dick and not just air. Yeah, it was a prothetic, but it's still shaped like a dick, on the guys crotch etc. So he at least went as far as 'acting' goes in making it as real as possible. I applaud him for that.

As for his douchey nature, that's an entirely different story.

I think people complain about the oral sex scene in the Broken Tower because it was a shameless and tacky way to get publicity for a terrible film. I watched the Broken Tower and honestly it was garbage the pace was too slow, the acting was bad. Although I will say the kissing scene between Franco and Michael Shannon was good.

That's exactly what I thought looks like Franco has sucked cock before. It just seems to me that Franco is inching out of the closet in his own way with these gay movies. Kind of wish James Franco would just come out of the closet he's definitely playing the whole Morrissey game being coy about his sexuality. I get it, Hollywood is still a homophobic place but other young actors around Franco's age have come out like Matt Bomer, Zachary Quinto, and Neil Patrick Harris. Coming out didn't hurt those queer actors careers.

Re: James Franco [mega-merged]

His roast on Comedy Central was hilarious and it was good to see him laugh and be funny. I wanted to see his cute little brother Dave roast him too, but he was in the audience and they cracked some jokes on him too.
